Just a LBC away...

A friend from a distant place,

Lots of Brown Out

This picture was taken before Election Day when suddenly Luzon experienced an expansive brown out. Seeing that brown out, I just resort into a tight slumber taking my self away and into oblivion of any indication of our present technology.

People even came into the idea that there is a “hidden agenda to compromise election”. Something like hacking and finding ways to cheat in election’s result. People got trapped in paranoia with the media news of Election’s software undergoing careful study and analysis .

In my view, revealing the reason behind that vast power failure was a prolonged one.

And and…

This reminds me that from now on, brown out will be a common thing especially this rainy season. So if you are a computer dependent like me, better make sure of saving your files every time. Be wary of digital karma and digital bad luck.

Puzzlemania

This is the book I recently bought for my little sister. It costs around 10php now.

I cannot recall when and how exactly I discovered this book. Before, I have this fancy of stationeries. I saw some of my mother’s hidden stationeries and later started collecting. I even skip meryendas during those days just to have the means to buy it. Then there was this store we happen to drop by. I can’t recall if that was way back elementary or already high school. I came to discover this book since both the stationeries were situated in one place. Or it might be my friend who first discovered it.

Eventually, we started collecting this book too. It costs around 15php and that’s very cheap for a good book like this. Soon, my brother was buying the same stuff too. Later, I came to discover another book called “Mathmania” but I am forever loyal and addicted to this Puzzlemania. I like the picture better and I am not fascinated with numbers that time to choose Mathmania. The choice of color is more subtle and child-friendly, it’s like a magnet that charmingly attracted the younger me then…

Unfortunately, I cannot find another way to collect all. I mean by going to the main distributor and buy a bundle and not by wating when the owner of the store decided to finally buy. Reunited with this book after a long period of time, I wonder if I can collect it again. I have little doubt now but this will not stop me of being hopeful. I have seen its website in the internet but I prefer the old editions. This time, I want it for my little sister. A tool I will use to sharpen her logic and brainpower.

I found in there website that it cost around $4 and shipping fee of $2. That would have a rough estimate of 164php with the total of 246php. Can you imagine that? From 15php to 264php?

Sample pages of the book.

 Very Yes :]

Eyebrow Grooming

Price: P20.00

This is my new shaped eyebrow. It was last Friday when I went to a not so elegant parlor to trim my eyebrow. I believe I have to, to have a more professional look. Sad to say, I cannot trim my own eyebrow and that something I will not just risk. I believe that the eyebrow somehow plays a big role in our facial appearance.

Before, I even have this habit of using a scissor to cut excess hair which looks so unsightly until I stopped doing so when the lady who trimmed my eyebrow told me.

Past trimming.
I’d tried in different places. I even went to one of expensive spa. It cost around 150php that time. I availed “threading”. Since I was lying and closed eyes, I can’t see what she’s doing to me. But of course, that is something about using a thread to pull the unwanted hair. Boy it hurts yet my eyebrow after threading is still thick. If my memory will not fail me, it somehow looked straight. Maybe it’s difficult to curve the eyelashes.

 I also went to another less expensive salon long long time ago and he used a blade, ‘he’ since he’s a gay, but I end us disappointed since I got cuts and I didn’t like the outcome, thin for my age and gave me a “mataray” look. No wonder since he did that in rush manner. I am cautious too, that I might appear like a whore if I will have too thin eyebrow, that’s what I don’t like.

Choosing who will trim my eyebrow.
So I made a promise to myself not to risk my eyebrow for someone from opposite sex. Most of all, females tend to have more control in their hands. Not that I am discriminating; there are some who find themselves successful in their careers and indeed exceptional. But there’s also a sorting made upon people, “average”, “above average”, “excellent” and “genius”. The latter is what I categorize as “above average” and the most common group of people is “average”. It’s up to us to choose who’s who and what’s best for your body.

Did you experience being treated roughy like in hair cut?
Parang kulang na lang sabunutan ako. >_<

A Taste of Life

This a total opposite of the life I am expecting. To be ignorant is a pity. You have to expect the worst and the unforeseen.

I am still naïve and lots of questions keeps on flooding my mind. I sometimes find myself asking this “Ganito ba talaga?” Bullying and being mean in unimaginable way. After-college-life is a battlefield. It is the survival of the fittest. The winner is always those who can keep up and who’s in. The word “dignity” is no longer rendered most of the time.

Back stabbing and especially crab mentality is widespread. This world, if you’re weak, will overwhelm you. They will crush you as long as they can. Opportunity is hard to seek, only the taste of the competition. But hey, I you survived, you are a shining white gold unless you drowned yourself and allow them to transform you into someone like them.

As much as I wanted  to despise the world I am in now, I can’t, I need to survive. Right here.

Remember, even if you will find your way to other places your chance of meeting same kind of people is the same. Just hold on to professionalism.
